[Users] CPUUNITS (yeah...yet another question...*SIGH*)

[Kirill Korotaev]

No, 100 is absolutely the same as 1000 in this regard.
CPUUNITs control only how VEs fight for the CPU time and
doesn't affect latency of the reaction which is controled
by HZ and some of sysctls in /proc/sys/kernel and is *bounded*.

Thanks,
Kirill
